    Terrible warranty support for hardware failures, otherwise solid monitor

    Feedback on the monitor if it worked: The monitor itself is solid. Brightness, colors and black levels are all a treat. The resolution and refresh rate provide a comfortable experience for both gaming and working. Colors aren't as good as IPS panels in this range, but they're pretty good. Black levels are better than IPS, so it's a compromise. Black blur is present but can be easily corrected via the settings. However, the overshoot is still present even with adjusted settings. There are many…

    Almost perfect, but with one big flaw

    I'm considering a new 165hz model as Revain has a merged list for some reason. This is my first curved extra wide or VA panel. I like the curved and extra wide part; and with that size, resolution, and refresh rate, I'd say it's almost the perfect form factor. I also like a built-in USB hub, which thankfully supports charging. The stand is solid, highly adjustable, and even looks pretty tasteful, although I still haven't figured out how to open the cable management clip. The on-screen menu is…

    Outstanding widescreen VA panel

    For a 24-inch 60Hz IPS display, that's a big step forward. The unit I received has very even lighting and no dead pixels. I can't see any ghosting no matter what settings I use, what game I load. I had flickering with free sync enabled so I turned it off but I was using old display drivers. Since then I've updated and re-enabled the drivers and no flickering has been observed since then (we'll see). product AMD). Aside from minor issues with the free sync, all the disadvantages I can attribute…

    I bought this monitor after a friend bought the 32" version and another had a 35" Asus Professional Graphics monitor. The color and brightness are just amazing. The color saturation is very good. I notice a gradient effect in some menus and loading screens, but I have no problems using the monitor. The sRGB color space is just plain fun. If you're not looking at blacks directly, they do appear a little gray, but if you're sitting directly in front of it, it's nice, and ambient light doesn't…

    Fantastic 34 " monitor

    I absolutely love this monitor. I switched to this from another 34" 100Hz monitor (also a great monitor) for a slightly higher refresh rate and it was well worth the price. The HDR coloring looks amazing in both games and movies. The 165Hz refresh rate and V-sync work flawlessly with my RTX2080. It has two HDMIs, two DPs and a 3.5mm headphone jack on the back, giving it plenty of ports as well as 100x100mm mounting holes. The menu is easy to navigate and you can even customize the two side…

    GREAT MONITOR! to my rating.

    This monitor met all expectations. I don't play games on it but I use it for work and video editing. The product is very fast, offers excellent resolution and has a (not high quality) speaker if you just want to play music in the background or listen to system sounds. (I use a headset for any serious sound). The monitor is adjustable vertically and in viewing angle, making it a good choice for most home or office environments. I connected it to two PCs via a junction box and it has no problem…

    I've done a lot of research on low-end computer monitors and I keep coming back to them. I thought I would find something better by looking around but it exceeded all expectations. The picture is clear, sharp and bright. It has plenty of USB ports and other ports, does not require a power adapter (which is built into it), comes with 2 HDMI cables and another video cable. The stand is very easy to assemble (1 screw at the bottom and 4 at the back) and has many positions. In general I like it for

    Monitor USB Power really works!

    The monitor fully corresponds to the description. It works great in conjunction with my Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 card and the panel doesn't flicker or have any issues when VRR is enabled. The only issue I had was that the USB hub on the back didn't __not__ power anything __unless it saw a connection to a live system. You can't just plug things into USB ports and expect them to come to life. I was under the impression that the USB was not working, which is wrong. As soon as you connect your…

    stop looking This is a monitor you can buy in this price range.

    On a 144Hz 1080p 1ms monitor this thing blew me away. The difference between 144Hz and 165Hz is negligible, however things change on a 1440p UW display. It's a whole new experience and I love every moment of it. Games that support this, like Cyberpunk, really come alive. Definitely worth it, especially in this price range. $500 per monitor might be more expensive for some, but it single-handedly replaced my dual-monitor setup. I only have a vertical side monitor which is used to check discord…

    Great monitor. Excellent resolution, I like the 21:9 aspect ratio. There's some backlight bleeding, but it's not noticeable at all in HDR and a little noticeable in SDR in dark scenes. This may not happen with all monitors of this model, I may have just had one that got messed up. Regardless, the picture quality is amazing. Thank you ASUS!

    Asus lied. the best in my rating

    The product cannot use its own listed functions. At 165 Hz, the pixels change from the target color. Even black text turns blue. Overdrive creates ghosting. The product cannot do without its "special” functions. With overdrive turned off, onscreen things chase their last pixel like old-school Windows 95 when it's dropped. To get an acceptable look you need to turn on the overdrive, but very, very low. And go to the advanced settings of the driver and switch it to a smaller xs. 120 went well…

The problem is that you have a monitor problem like I have. My monitor had an issue that caused it to flicker when Freesync was enabled.

    Flip the disc down

    This monitor is certainly sharp and wide, but ghosting may be an issue for you depending on the graphics card you're using. When playing Fortnite I notice footprints/ghosts coming from hand movements. I also notice a lot of green and red fringes when moving fast or shooting in dark scenes. The screen is factory set to overdrive at 60%, turning it down to 0% seems to help reduce color fringing, although ghosting is still noticeable. Dark scenes are the biggest problem.

    So far so good (purchase from Revain Warehouse)

    Received this for $326.29 pre-tax through Revain Warehouse marked 'Used - Acceptable'. It was listed with minor blemishes on the front, sides, bottom and back but looks brand new aside from having the plastic wrap already removed. The previous owner must also have kept the screws to attach the screen to the stand as they were nowhere to be found, so I had to purchase some separately. I've only been using it for about a week but the screen itself is great and in great condition, especially on…

    So far I like the picture and the brightness. It only took a few uses to get used to the curved screen. The refresh rate is magic when you move windows and objects with the mouse. The built-in speakers are exactly what you would expect from a monitor. They're perfect for zoomed calls or listening to audio while sending emails, but for gaming you'll probably prefer external speakers. My only problem is that the arm holding the monitor is broken. There is a cable management loop on the arm that…

    Nicely done. Excellent ad.

    I paired it with an Asus VG27AQ. The bezels aren't perfectly aligned, but it's barely noticeable and (really) irrelevant. The features are pretty great. 144 or 165 Hz looks crisp and smooth. There seems to be some conflicting information about this display and a similar model from last year's line (slightly different model number). This one is better, judging by the statistics. The curve is natural. (Giggity) The brightness is excellent. The color accuracy is amazing. It's not Oddesi, but close

Sometimes there were red or green artifacts as well, like in the video I provided, especially around these plants. I was able to minimize most of this by lowering the overdrive setting to 20 or
